Ello Poppet!
Our client King John is INNOCENT! He was charged with unfair taxation, interfering with the Catholic Church, unlawful treatment of knights, and wrongly seizing the land of lords. If our client did commit these so called, “crimes,” he did them for a legitimate reason. Who is to say that King John didn’t do all of these things to help England. Maybe he wanted to use the taxes that he raised to give back to his country. I hope you are not forgetting King John has all power. We are living in an ABSOLUTE MONARCHY! What do you want him to do just let some random peasant rule the country? As for interfering with the church, as far as I know life here centers around the church. Shouldn’t the King have some say in what goes on? Maybe he had a good reason to interfere. How did King John mistreat the knights? What was the worst he did, send them to fight? HELLO! THAT IS THEIR DUTY YOU KNOW! I can’t believe anyone would even think to accuse him of something he did just to protect our country! How could King John wrongly seize land that BELONGED TO HIM? You can’t seize something that is already yours. In case anyone forgot, King John was forced to sign the Magna Carta. The people demanded it. Most of the nobles were alright with the way things were before the Magna Carta. He obviously didn’t want to sign it since he chose not to do what it said. Also, doesn’t the King deserve more respect than some of the common people? After all, he is in charge of an entire country. Pip Pip Cheerio!
